Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 297

But in the end, they were one step too late.

They were divorced. There was no going back.

As soon as Old Mr. Blake got home, he immediately called Sebastian and summoned him back.

Sebastian hadn’t even made it to the office before he was called back to the estate.

Inside the study, the sound of his father furiously smashing things could be heard.

His stern curses echoed intermittently.

Inside the study, for the first time, Sebastian wasn’t just standing with his head bowed; he was kneeling on the floor, head down.

Shattered porcelain lay all around him.

His father’s hands were trembling with rage. He had wanted to explode back at Lillian’s office but couldn’t do it in front of her.

So now, he could only unleash his fury on Sebastian.

Being scolded by his father, Sebastian didn’t dare feel wronged.

“Explain yourself. What do we do now? You divorced Lillian without saying a word to us. Sebastian, oh, Sebastian, you don’t have a shred of respect for your mother and me, do you?”

Sebastian took a deep breath, feeling he should at least try to explain.

“Dad, there’s a bit of a story behind this. I did sign the divorce papers, but I never intended to file them so quickly.

It was an accident that led to this situation.

I had no intention of making it public. After hearing that Lillian was sick, I wanted to make amends and bring her home to recover.

She is Noah’s mother, after all. I would never just abandon her.”

“Don’t think saying that will change anything.

Besides the photo of the kiss, there were others of a drunk Bella clinging to his arm, looking intimate.

“Lillian’s imprisonment was related to this woman. You not announcing your marriage or divorce was also because of this woman, wasn’t it?

Now that you’re divorced, are you planning to officially marry her?”

Sebastian replied, “Dad, no.

I don’t know why you have these photos. Bella isn’t a manipulative person. Our relationship developed naturally, and we haven’t crossed any lines.

I do plan to marry her in the future because she’s capable and will be a great help to the company’s development.

But with Lillian in her current state, I have no intention of hurting her. I just want to do one last thing for her, help her get treatment, and see her recover.”

The old man was livid. “What? Are you trying to act righteous now? You fool, you’ve been completely blinded. You want to marry Bella because she’s capable? What if Lillian turns out to be even more capable than her? What will you do then, when you’re drowning in regret?”
